thorn. oouf did it die here

yaaawnnnn! this town is so boring.

hey, it’s haley! but i do love sunflowers, they’re sooo pretty, don’t you think? ( hair flip, thoughtful with a head devoid of meaningful thoughts all the same. ) what kind of nickname do you have? gingersnap?

i knoow, what am i supposed to do now— wait, you don’t even like leaving your house!

i’m so bummed. my trip to zuzu city got totally canceled.

when the rains finally die down, haley tentatively pokes out the door with an umbrella. her frame is hugged by a windbreaker, camera absent in the event of another harsh downpour.

( haley, who rebukes such things, is none the wiser to this strong reaction. ) uh, you do? they just float up to you for a chat?

duh! you can’t be friends with someone all your life and 𝘯𝘰𝘵 know all their little secrets. let’s go.

ooh, if only i knew exactly where alex keeps the keys to his ice cream stand.

( ah, yes, those are traits that she’s well-known for. but anyone who has a working brain can appreciate the beauty in things — not thst she’s an airhead, she’s shockingly clever when utilized properly. ) well, yes, but there aren’t many things out in space you can classify as cute, are there? —

ohh, it so is! nobody wants to ever admit they like the gossip, but that’s fine. what’s up with you, hm? been seeing more ghosts in those mines?

it’s because i’ve been out of town and not spreading rumors, i totally get it. ✨

in hindsight, reflecting on their high school years should feel like forever ago, but it’s like looking back on something that happened just yesterday. sam’s tired guitar pick was less worn and chipped, his hair styled more pathetically when given less than 10 minutes in an early morning rush. —

ugh, so no sunscreen? or exfoliating? face masks?!

sooo many goths and emos in my midst. it’s almost summer, you guys can go back inside, don’t even worry. 💅🏻

thorn. motivation has been low but i am trying my best to exist at the moment lol

because they’re tacky and full of jumpscares instead of anything actually interesting? good call. horror protagonists just can’t dress either.

i guess i’d take your brother over your little girlfriend penny any day. i’ll text emily and be right over. ugh, i hope she doesn’t take this as an invitation to bring leah over to my house. last thing i want to hear is them trading spit like freshman on the couch.

sunlight peeks through the early morning clouds, but haley doesn’t come to find out that the rain is officially over until she wakes up later that day. grabbing her sunscreen, sunglasses, the lunch emily packed her, a beach towel and of course, her wide lens camera, she heads down to the beach.

judgmentally lowers sunglasses, ”aren’t you a little too old for this, woods?”

with the sudden and prolonged downpours a thing of the past, not a trace of mud speckles the long, winding path that leads into the cindersnap forest, twisting and turning back and forth like a snake, tangling with smaller trails. what intrigued the blonde the most is the little valley where —

from her window, she can see sam playing air guitar on his bed, the loser. totally not taking a video for blackmail purposes... 💭

it’s been so hot that haley has actively avoided the beach ( for once in her life ). thank yoba for air conditioning! she’s all comfy in her pajamas, painting her nails a glossy shade of rose pink.

the sun’s glare keeps the sand warm, tracing the lone curl on sam’s forehead and his upward, gelled spikes that make him look like a scruffy version of david bowie. bronzed tan fading, the heat rolls over her back and promises a natural upkeep that will have her city friends burning with envy —

mm, you get on my last nerve, but you’d 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 bore me. take the compliment, rockstar. you won’t get them often.

what’s your skincare routine then?

i think grandpa george told him that people only go to doctors and hospitals when they’re really sick or going to die, and alex believed him.

we have to watch the movie with your 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘭𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳? seriously?! ugh, fine. give me 10 minutes to do my hair.

alex doesn't go to the doctor. he asked me if i was terminally ill because i went twice a month. don’t even get me started on sam!

uh... her, talia and 𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺? emily will make them watch the blair witch project for the thousandth time! ( she would let them pick the movie. )

( hair flip. ) i’m starting to think only women care about their health. makes sense.

that’s just emily for you. she’s weird sometimes.

maybe. will your emo friends be there too?

yeah! she just wanted to watch hocus pocus 2 instead, but seriously, who in their right mind gets skeeved out by barbie?!

will you still love me when i'm no longer young and beautiful ？

i don’t know any other sammies, do i? there was samuel from college but he was a total bore. 🥱

sits on the floor, going through movies. she wanted to watch barbie, but emily got ‘bad psychic energy’ from it, the liar.

”it would be awful for someone to still want to have a mullet, but look at you,” haley quips right back. sje would be lying if she said she doesn’t enjoy their back and forth. the strap of her peach pink bikini slides down her shoulder, but she pays it no mind. if he does, she’ll notice. ✨ —

alex’s grandma, thank you sooo much for saving everyone in town from seeing his sweaty pecs! i need to send her a gift basket.

( note: haley has been spreading rumors. there is no real evidence so far that harvey has been engaging in anything ’kinky’. )

uuuuhhh, harvey. don’t trust the innocent ones. 💅🏻

i’m not sick! i just have checkups every two weeks with the kinky doctor, no biggie.

( too absorbed with staring at her nails. is one of them chipped? ) i don’t know if they do... i don’t hang out with the emo guy, and it’d be awkward and lame to keep tabs on my highschool ex.

people go to the doctor a few times for the month, alex. it’s totally normal.

what, alex?
